They're just 'talking', about the pecking order.

Define "super mean"....chasing him down, pinning him in the corner, and beating him bloody?
 
How is he responding, can he get away from her?
 
Yes, he can get away. But he fought her a little when she attacked him. I cleaned the wound with hydrogen peroxide. They are not fighting at all now. He showed them who was boss and that was it. Could he possibly already be integrated???!!! I hope so.:fl

Let them work it out.
No need really to clean a little comb peck, unless it's really torn up,
they can bleed quite a bit but usually heal up quick with no attention at all.
But FYI never use peroxide except once for an initial cleansing of a dirty wound as it can damage healthy tissue.
 
We named him Colonel Sanders. Here is a pic of him...
